Did you turn to look back 

The night you left 

Did you feel you took enough steps 

But could not forget my words 

 

Did you stand there, so close 

To my silhouette 

Like a ghost, (you let) 

Did you ever ache & hear me at your door 

Smiling a sad smile that I did not know  

And I can not see 

A sifting of happiness, held by me 

 

I saw you long after that night 

As though I was just some girl, chained 

A prisoner, forbidden to even say hello 

Only to gaze at you within the shade 

Near that majestic old tree 

And you stood under the sun 

With her 

Tempting me to commit things 

I should not do 

I kissed the circles of what you said 

I touched your hair as you nodded your head 

I was the scholar of your heart again 

Held firmly inside your arms 

Until brought back by the scratch of earth 

My conscience warning me to not be foolish 

And to stay far from you 

Obeying it was as tiring as a mountain climb 

Like being punished by a jilted Queen 

Love, all the strength I had 

Was to pray 

And walk away  

Leaving you in the distance 

Your smile was the last thing I saw 

As you slowly looked over your shoulder at 

Nothing at all 

Oh love, did you feel me! 

 

And now I regret that day 

You are not my right, I know 

I will stay far away, 

As obedient as I am 

 

Alone.
